Hello, I am using emacs on my SUN SPARK Station and while writing some C codes, I am getting really frustrated by the lack of power of this editor. Or maybe, it is just the fact that having recently used the editor from Turbo C, I was spoiled. Anyway, is there somebody that could tell me how to do the folowing commands in the smallest number of steps: 1) How to cut and paste a word, line, paragraph? 2) How to set a mark on a particular line, go somewhere else, do some stuff and then go back to my mark. 3) How to know on which line I am ? 4) How to block part of a text and print it, delete it or copy it to some other program? 5) Any reference to a good book that can help me master the secrets of emacs. I would appreciate any help, Thanks Bruno
